Close Grip Push Up

Start in a high plank position with your hands placed closer than shoulder-width apart (often just a few inches or in a narrow position). Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels, brace your core, and keep your elbows tucked close to your torso. Lower your body toward the floor by bending your elbows, keeping them near your sides. Once your chest is close to the ground, push back up by extending your elbows until your arms are straight. Maintain control throughout the movement and avoid letting your hips sag or rise.
